    Despite being a huge Burial fan, I found this EP to be a little disappointing. Short length aside, neither one of these tracks seem to go anywhere; instead, they drift around in the same sonic space with only subtle variations, and don't stick around long enough to warrant their ambient nature.

    The electronic musician who calls himself Burial deals in blurry, melancholy, ominous implications. His first release since 2013 is a pair of tracks that are never far from dissolving into entropy.
